I just wanted to start a thread about this video, because it’s got freaking everything.
Zombie strippers
The band all playing the wrong instruments
Satan
The hitchhiker from Texas Chainsaw Massacre
A dunce from an obscure HR Giger painting
Jewel Shepard
Flamethrowers
A brief shot of what appears to be a Church of the Subgenius Overman mask
Scott Ian firing a machine gun
They don’t make 'em like this anymore!
It really is fantastic, not enough bands brandish machine guns these days for some reason.
It’s a good vid.
The original vid is pretty awesome as well…
Rod Stewart sporting moose knuckle
Random hot Swedish model

Not their “usual” instruments, but not “wrong”, either.
I remember when “Linger Ficken” was made, there was an interview/article with Al and he noted that he wanted everyone out of their routine without preset notions and such, and that he wanted this round of Revolting Cocks to be completely separate and distinct from what Ministry was doing at the time, both musically and in mindset.
So one of the decrees he passed for everyone was that they had to play a different instrument. No, I can’t tell you whether that stuck for the entire album or whether it was just for the creative process and they went back to normal arsenal for the studio or for how much of the album that even applied, but he did discuss it, nonethe less.
I was really impressed at that time with how it really did seem that he was kind of a svengali type leader of this gang of misfit proteges and geniuses and he was able to kind of corral that madness into something wonderful and bizarre.
And now . . . . well, yeah, times are a little different.
would be nice to read that interview… but didnt Chris say that Al was mostly “out of it” for the making of LFG album, and that it was the most fun revco disc to make (partly cuz of that)?
i think in the video they did it obviously for fun of it, they are not even trying to ‘play’ them, its all “wrong”
I still feel awkward every time I see Paul Barker playing drums…
I’m pretty sure it was an AP (Alternative Press) article/ interview. I remember the cover had the guys on the front with various guns and such.
I might even have it in my collection still. I’ll have to dig through some junk to see if it still exists. If I find it I’ll post it.
I think I found the issue. I don’t know how to access it, but I think this is the one . . . .

Ha! “Is industrial music dead?” In 1994.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Good catch, Brother!
In all honesty, it probably should have been killed around that time, or maybe one or two years later, at the most.
A lot of us would have been quite happy without the tidal wave of crappy by-the-numbers industrial-metal-techno-goth-faggitry that would flood the scene thereafter.
Late 90’s were a bad time for just about everything…
I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but the late '90s were kind of a golden age here in Atlanta. There was some sort of goth/industrial club night probably 5-6 nights a week (quality varied, of course). People were publishing magazines devoted to the music and they were easy to get at Tower records (Industrial Nation, Permission, Culture Shock, etc.). The local indie record stores carried a shit ton of cool imports, and even chain stores had some good finds if you searched a little bit - I even got a Death In June single at Best Buy!
It really fell apart somewhere in the early '00s when all that stuff faded away.

This is true.
I still feel awkward every time I see Paul Barker playing drums…
It’s slightly less awkward than watching him try and play the bass.
